Theoretical demonstrations can’t even scratch the surface of a complex IT solution when it comes to selling a new software product to prospective customers. Sales teams are left struggling to articulate in-depth capabilities that are really best shown, not explained. For a guaranteed shot at a sale, companies need to allow users to ‘kick the tires’, and get fully hands-on inside a real-world replica of their own infrastructure, only possible using a sales enablement cloud platform.  

Successful cloud sales enablement services rely on three things:

  1. Customizable POCs – so users get an accurate understanding of the software
  2. Hands-on experiential sales demo environments – for an immersive and practical experience, and
  3. Visibility and control – to recognize the warning signs of churn ahead of time.

CloudShare facilitates remote sales enablement that provides all three, while easily replicating real-world environments on the public cloud, and significantly improving the success rate of your sales team.

Support Complex Demo Environments on a Sales Enablement Cloud Platform

Simulate a precise customer infrastructure, complete with routers, switches, scripts, and additional network elements. The CloudShare Wizard allows both business and technical staff to create an exact demo environment, replicated to as many users as needed.

Allow for Cross-platform Sales Enablement from one Dashboard

No need to use multiple platforms or additional sales enablement solutions to demo or explain your software across different public clouds. Just toggle between tabs to show your solution running on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Handle Cost Control and Budget for Remote Sales Enablement

Set up quotas for usage behind the scenes, allowing prospects to play and test unaided, in a safe, isolated sandbox environment while you control the costs. When the POC is over, or the demo environment is no longer needed, it will automatically be torn down per your set policies.

See Extremely Quick Time to Value

Pre-populate data once, and then edit only what you need for specific demos or customer solutions. If your public cloud provider makes a change, or you have a feature update to your software – no need to start from scratch, just use a saved blueprint.

Gain Insight into Abandoned POCs in Real-time

Monitor specific information about remote sales enablement, including daily usage of POCs, status of open demos, invites and more. Automatically generated reports will display which items are ‘high-risk’, allowing you to follow up and prevent churn.
